I'm sure it was sent to me or something. I only recognise about two bits of my own writing here. wierd. Actually I'm sure I was being too formal with it and that's why it reads 'flat.' And dull. Not to put you off 'cos there's a few bits here I like.

We nearly all swear. Apart from the few whoâve made a vow or conscious decision not to. From small curses uttered and muttered under the breath to full-blown exclamatory âNavvies Languageâ.

Insults have long been part and parcel of our historical and cultural legacies.

Many cultures throughout history have used insults to goad and gauge responses from enemies, test the metal of foes, win âround a resentful crowd, or simply to strike a blow without having to âstrike a blowâ. The plays of Euripides and âSoft ladâ come to mind.

Allusions in literature and poetry- âquaint passageâ âquimâ being an ancient word for vagina as was âquipâ. âCuntâ is still the most âoffensiveâ word one can use but it is an ancient word which has itâs origins in âkithâ âkinâ âakinâ and âcountryâ.

The word Universe is derived from another old word for vagina âYoniâ-âUniâ the vastness of space

Abstract ideas through the use of swearing- ape language and their use of abstracted words to indicate higher intelligence. âNormalâ words (toilet) used as insult.

Televisions problem with swearing- the watershed-putting swearing in context with âhard-hittingâ drama but not in the mouths of children or on chat shows
